So we missed March madness and now basketball in general may be done for the season. This got me to thinking, if you were starting a “Watch” Team, which watches would be in your starting 5? Here are the rules.

1. Can’t use the same brand/maker twice.
2. You have a salary cap, that is 100k
3. And just for the heck of it, you get a sixth man, you know, incase someone sprains an ankle.
4. The 6th man has a cap of 6k. You know, a watch that can hold its own, but isn’t quite a starter.
5. Not a “Dream Team”. Has to be current players (watches in production).

I wanted to do a sweet 16 of watches and poll it down. Didn’t have the time.

Enjoy!

B-ball. Size matters. 70mm invicta down low just to rebound and feed Sky-Dweller. Speed at the wings provided by Zenith Defy 21 and Breguet 10Hz Type XXII. Big and intimidating thug in the middle with sharp elbows and a real bad attitude, Audemars Piguet ROOC. 6th man award goes to the awesome yet forgettable Sinn diver, can’t remember the model name.
